With Covid I have probably made 250-300 Christmas Cards and I am still making them. I hope I live long enough to send them out. I’m 74 and have been making cards for the past 45 years. I just love to make cards and I scrapbook also, but cards are my love. I love watching you create. I also make cards from 6 x 6 paper packs. It is so much fun. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@kellycrowl1500]

This whole 6x6 pad full of cards is so very inspiring!!!❤❤❤

[@Mary-el3pi]

Thanks so much for all of your videos….i have started my 2024 Christmas cards and have watched your Christmas ones from years past the last few days.

[@motheroftwo2288]

I literally could sit and watch your videos for hours - absolutely love your designs!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thank you so much! 🥰

[@luckylinda7777]

Loved the black background with white snowflakes the best

[@janasher4940]

I like the idea of using scrap card stock to build up one side of an element to get it to lay flat. I've seen my cards after they have gone through the mail or sat in a box for a while. When I don't even up the layers, the papers do sink. I also use scraps to fill in when I gut a mat layer. Thanks for showing this in your videos.

[@florence9341]

Merci beaucoup pour votre partage. Vos cartes sont superbes.🥰

[@2CraftySeniors]

I've been really sick lately with pneumonia so haven't been able to make Christmas cards yet. People just might get them late. Oh well. Life is what it is. :) I really enjoyed watching this video. The music was so soothing and the cardmaking was fun. The people you donate these cards to must really appreciate the work that you put into them. It always pleases me when I see you doing a "several" cards from one pack or kit.

[@KristieMarcotte]

I’m so sorry to hear you haven’t been well. I do hope you are feeling better now. I think people will be happy to receive your cards anytime. 💗

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Keep going with Christmas Cards! I love watching your videos no matter what collection you're using, Christmas or not. I love watching them all !

[@shirleyh9583]

I very much enjoy watching your videos and I love this paper pad. I am mesmerized watching your selection process and your hands flying at 6x speed assembling them. You are an inspiration to all your viewers. I also enjoyed your music selection.

[@bevpisko8247]

I think this is my fav of all the packs you use. Guess I am just a traditionalist. I do make Christmas cards part of the year. Love your use of the pine branch die cuts.

[@MsQueenmother]

I’m still making Christmas cards too. I just love the papers

[@ginadeckelmann6691]

Love all of this christmas cards 🎄⭐🎅🏼😊

[@maryf9822]

Thank you for a bit of Christmas cheer in May! I don't think there's a wrong time for your Christmas cards videos!

[@heatherupton820]

I make Christmas cards all year round....I'm very fortunate to be in a group who provides boxes of cards to Charities free of charge so they can raise funds which means I can make all types of cards all year....look forward to seeing any of your videos in the New Year...wishing you a great Festive season and the best of everything for 2021...

[@cindyn3383]

I love the layout. Can use them for any card.

[@marcyfarrell5369]

Yes do them throughout the year. I did this year and I had all my cards done before Halloween. I donated 220 to charity also.

[@mcdanielsw]

Thank you for posting!

[@Taitcreates639]

Still making cards, have to mail hem tmrw, 2 days before Christmas. Too many great pads this year. Tfs

[@gabychavez9392]

Loved it all!!!

[@cstark72]

Woohoo!!! ⛄🎄🎅🤶🦌💌

[@luckylinda7777]

Love the idea of making Christmas cards all year long....we buy more collections/kits then we have time to make during the busy season. You will help us by doing it other times during the year. Genius idea.

[@jukes243]

Nice cards! Kristie. I started my Christmas cards back in June. Good thing I did! I'm not only 68 and slow, but my list continues to grow. What a wonderful blessing it is to make (receive) a handmake card. Especially now. Watching your tutorial has inspired me to make/send more. So I thank you. MERRY CHRISTMAS! everyone.

[@annetterenaud6412]

Beautiful cards and i have some done lol

[@cynthiatuczynski9491]

Echo park is my all time favorite paper. You did a fabulous job with that paper pack. Thank you for sharing. 😊🤗

[@frkbogstad]

Oh my gosh as always 😍 I really liked the wonky window card. I dont have the die, but I think I can do without it 👍

[@lindab8563]

Beautiful cards! Luckily I bought the 12x12 kit so I can use that! Tfs!

[@cljordison]

I'm still making Christmas cards because I donate to nursing homes and send out to my family and friends. Great cards and video! I love watching you create so many beautiful cards!

[@annamarianenortas4859]

[@asylumlane]

Amazing as always! I think the cards with the gingerbread houses and (black) snowflake background are my favorites.

[@geraldinecarbonari5265]

I’m still making Christmas cards. Even when mine are done, I like to continue making them

[@veroniqueclement2788]

J’adore 😍

[@andreataylor310]

Love your cards

[@nancyprobst6311]

Thank you so much for another wonderful video. I don't need so many, so I've just started making mine. And I have a birthday card to make for a family member born on Christmas day. That one is always a challenge.

[@kellylynn6831]

Would love to see you do a 6 x 6 pad with the matching sticker sheet and maybe the ephemera, Challenge is to make some over the top special cards for those special people in your life. Love watching you put these cards together.

[@shermullet6765]

Love your video's, finished & mailed out my Christmas cards just this week. Now on to making some Valentines. You give me so much inspiration. Thank you.

[@kallistoindrani5689]

I'm already finished for this year. I had a bunch over from last year and wanted to use those first.

[@stacycakamams4873]

I have made a few. Told myself last year I was going to do them all year. Well, that did not happen so I will be using some boxed cards. Hugs

[@LilCraftyNook]

I’m in a collab where we all make 10 cards a month and show them! Talk to Kim of Metal Scrappin Chick!!

[@suchatimeasthis1958]

I have not even started making cards yet! 😁 still working on trying to get a tree. Love your card videos!! Thanks for sharing 😁

[@didlet1329]

Another lovely collection, I love all your cards. I've made some cards, but I need to sit down and use a whole paper pad like you and maybe I can get more done. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Also, thank you for the lovely card, I love the colors and the layouts, I may have to CAS it.

[@dmurfval702]

I'm still working on Christmas cards! Always get inspiration from you. Beautiful cards.

[@PaperSquirrelsCardDesigns]

Oh, I still have many more Christmas cards to make! Thank you so much for doing this paper pad, I love your ideas! My favorites were the one with the Gingerbread paper and the one with the 9 squares. "quilt" cards seem perfect for Christmas!

[@lianellis2943]

[@KristieMarcotte]

I think I’ll use that collection for some winter cards. ❄️

[@christinee1591]

I'm still making christmascards. Well actually I haven't started yet.

[@yorkienme2268]

I'm watching you for inspiration because I have not even started my cards yet! Yikes! Do you mail all of these cards? Donate them? Or?

[@KristieMarcotte]

I mail around 70 cards every Christmas, and donate about 120 cards. I will also hand out quite a few cards.

[@chriscoussement7027]

Het zijn de Peel-off stickers

[@StampARueCreations]

Just started making Christmas cards. Lol

[@mariajensen1310]

Kristie do,you buy the envelopes for your cards separately? Where do you buy them from?

[@KristieMarcotte]

I purchase envelopes in bulk from Heinrich online. They sell cases of 1000 envelopes. I usually buy a few cases every year since I make a lot of cards.

[@KarolinasKrafts]

What is that tool you're using at 14:42 to help you put down gemmies?

[@KristieMarcotte]

It's an embellishment wand. I LOVE it! I do have a couple links listed in the description box where you can purchase it.

[@KarolinasKrafts]

@@KristieMarcotte thank you so much! I somehow didn't see it before but do now and ordered one! Thank you!

[@carollee7976]

Where did you get ur cutter from, plz share

[@KristieMarcotte]

I bought my Tonic trimmer many, many years ago. I'm not even sure where I bought it. But I have links where you can buy it in the description box.

[@lorikay6574]

Where can I find the card sketches for these cards? Do you have a link for them?

[@KristieMarcotte]

I share all of the card sketches on my coordinating blog post. Link is in the description box. 🙂

[@chriscoussement7027]

Waar kan ik de stripjes kopen goud, zilver ,rood?????

[@KristieMarcotte]

Love From Lizi Peel Offs are amazing! You can buy them from her website. I have a link provided in the description box.

[@lindab8563]

When you order peel offs from - Love from Lizi - are you charged a duty tax?

[@KristieMarcotte]

I’m on the Love From Lizi design team so I receive products in return for making card samples and videos. Depending on where you live, there may be additional fees when you order. I live in the US and I don’t believe there is a duty tax, unless it’s already included in the shipping costs.
